I am trying to remove my front rotors on my 96 Integra. I know i have to pull the two screws out and then run two bolts into the rotor to remove the rotor, but how do i get the screws out. I tried an impact gun and it just striped out one of the screws. I stoped there as i did not want to do more damage.

 

have to bang it wita a ruber hammer or somthing to crack it loose

 

just drill the head off those screws. u dont need to put those screws back on the car when u reassemble everything.

They key to getting those screws out is getting an Impact screwdriver.

This is not an airtool.

Its a big fat steel driver, that you you can hit real hard while turning, and this breaks the screws free without stripping them.
Air impact tools have way to much power for that little screw.

Btw running two bolts into the rotors to push them off is optional, Depending on where your from and where your car was mainly driven will determine it.

I usually use a hammer on the rotors to get them off with rust free georgia cars...

If your from up north, chances are your whole underside of the car is a rust bucket and youll need to drive the screws in to push it out

But either way, just break that stripped screw off, and try to remove the others with that impact driver i explained, they are available at most auto parts stores in the tool section.

good luck

 

Impact screwdriver

I had to use a goddamn torch on them to heat them up, then used a regular screwdriver, hammer, and vice grips

 

Just take a center punch and a large dead blow hammer and hit the head of the screw 3 or 4 times pretty hard. That will usually break them loose. If not...do like the others said and get an impact screwdriver.

yep

if you stripped out the screws just drill them and make sure you dremal them FLUSH . . .

 

get a helms manual, check out my sig

 

Actually I have the factory book for the car, i had a helms for my old 90 integra, and the factory had way more info.

 

Thoose screws are put on on the assembly line to hold the rotor on because the calipers and whells are put on later. If you cant get them out just drill the heads off. The wheel will hold the rotor on the car

It musta been shitty, because there is no way you can break the impact driver that I have. . .
It looks like a short solid little metal *****.
